Our company sells Buckwheat

What exactly are the types of buckwheat, and how do they differ? Depending on the method of processing, buckwheat is divided into two types: the kernel and the egg. The kernel is the most common form, these are whole buckwheat kernels, peeled from the husk. This cereal contains less litter, it is easier to wash it. Small split grains are also called a breakthrough: there are fewer vitamins and fiber in them, so such cereals are mainly used in various production additives. Now there is another kind of cereal on sale – buckwheat flakes. They are smaller, but better than the cut, because they are made by flattening the grains. Many people love them for their very fast cooking, because buckwheat flakes do not require cooking (NTV): they are either poured with boiling water, or minimal heat treatment is used. There are also derivatives of buckwheat, for example, buckwheat flour, which is often used by confectioners and bakers, are used for cosmetic purposes. In its consistency, it does not differ much from wheat flour, except that only in color.

The kernel can be fried or steamed (brown in different shades), this is how we used to see it on sale.

Steamed buckwheat

The grain cleared of weed impurities is sent for steaming for 1 hour. In a special tank where buckwheat is located, steam is supplied under pressure of 3 atmosphere, temperature + 130 ° C. Thanks to steaming, buckwheat kernels are easily exfoliated from the husk, which is what the manufacturer needs. After steaming the buckwheat kernel, peeling and separation procedures are carried out. At this stage of processing, the grains are cleaned from the husk, which is removed by blowing.

Then the already exfoliated grain is passed sequentially through 4 vibrating sieves with different cell diameters, which is the calibration of buckwheat kernels. Depending on the size and integrity of the kernels, the final types of buckwheat that are offered to customers are determined. Moreover, the higher the steam pressure and the duration of processing, the darker the grain becomes. For crumbly porridge, it is better to choose steamed buckwheat (by the way, according to GOST, it should be cooked for 15 minutes).
